Precise age estimation in clonal species using a somatic genetic clock
Lei Yu, Jessie Renton, Agata Burian…·Thorsten B. H. Reusch
This paper develops a somatic genetic clock to estimate age in clonal species by analyzing fixed somatic genetic variation, demonstrating its application in Zostera marina and revealing genet ages up to 1,403 years.
